Il does not become stranger to do al
the talking. ] sat down by an aged man the
other day--a very aged man-and it did
me good 10 answer his earnest questions
about old Georgia. He was very deaf,

loud, very loud, but / did not get wearied,
for 1t was such boon to. him. I have
often thought that we were not as con
siderate as we should be of the pleasure
Of those who cannot hear. They are SO
conscious Of their misfortune and 90 tim

others that am drawn to them and give
them as much time as ] can spare. A little
talk goes long way with one who is deaf.
He d grateful, and he enjoys it and goes
away pondering in his mind what you
have told him. Even the seand Of yoair
voice Is treasured by him. Deaf men are
almost universally honest and sincere, and
they are kind and generous. Bib Arp in

The owners of property that part Of
Washington street to be paved with Medina
stone are unanimously of the opinion that no
more favors should be shown the Johnson
street-car line by the City Council until the
owners of the line agree to pay their proper
ton of the cost of the improvement. The
company expended great deal more in paw
ing a single street in Cleveland for a six years
charter than its share of the Washington
street improvement would be. Yet with the
free use of many of our best streets it refuses
to pay it's share of paving one, and at the
same time is asking new favors of the Coun-

Senator Voorhees, Says Pennsylvania Has

Kansas City Special
Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees, arrived in this city
this morning from Terre Haute his way to
Pixies Peak. N answer to the question: CIV hat
do you think OF the political outlook}' ne said:
1T is difficult to forecast the political situa-
ton with any degree of accuracy. To my mind
it is pretty plain that Blaine, if he wants it,
have the nomination of the next Republican
convention. The little booms for Sherman and
other aspirants always loom up just before the
convention meets, only TO demonstrate how weak
and shallow their claims The action OF the
Pennsylvania State convention has undoubtedly
struck the keynote of the Republican shibboleth
for the next campaign. The rebel flag incident
and the infant industry arguments will be the
stock in trade OF the campaign orator.

thought he had a right to it superior to that of
the owner. The accommodating owner grew
tired of maintaining the beast for the benefit of
his neighb Dor, and one night went TO that
gentletnan's house get the animal. He was
met by the neiehbor, shotgun in hand. who
fused to give up the animal. I know the horse
is yours but It is -- impolite of You to sing
around my house in the night. Come IN the

played, and noting the demand for the paper
containing the details. If he will do this, and
will again take his stand in the same spot after
a lecture or sermon or public meeting which
engaged the particular interest of himself and
friends and observe the comparatively light
sale of the sheet containing full report of
the same he will be ready to revise his
figures as to the relative popularity of the
different departments of newspaper The
Journal being neither religious nor literary
organ, nor yet a benevolent institution, fol-
lows the good business principle of trying to
please all classes of its patrons, and, finding
among them many lovers of athletic sports,
endeavors to keep them posted concerning
their favorite amusements. To those persons
who, like the estimable subscriber referred
to, are not pleased with such literature, the
only suggestion that can be made is that they
need not read it. The matter contained in
other columns is fully worth the price of
subscription.

Poverty and Sickness Kill the Man Who
Served for the President.


Bath IN. W Special
front as President Cleyeiand's substitute during
the war, died tonight in the Soldiers Home
here. He had long been suffering from con-
sumption, and his condition had been critical for
several days, but his death was sudden at the
last Poor, feeble and neglected, up to few
weeks ago he had been an inmate of the aims
house of this county. Then his condition
brought to light through a statement made by
the press and by a letter which he wrote to the
Des Moines, Ia, post of the Grand Army of the
Republic He then made it known that Mr..
Cleveland had never fulfilled his promise in
gard to paying him for going as his substitute.
and had allowed him to live In various poor
houses OF New York State.
In subsequent and fuller state ment Brnski
said that Mr.. Cleveland gave him $3.50 when he
enlisted as his substitute, and promised to do
more for him after he got out of the army. He
never saw Mr.. Cleveland again until the elec-
ton day OF 1885, in Buffalo, when he went to
Cleveand's former Office with letter. The
President recognized him, and said to his friends
in the office: Here, gentlemen. is the man who
fought for me IN the war" Brlnskl then told
nothing, but the President turned off into an
other room. and made him offer of assistance
He had been suffering from hemorrhages, and
unable TO work. Afterwards he wrote the
President several letters. but received no
Swer except notification from Private Secretary
Lamont that they had been Seceived. Then he
asked the President to help him in getting
pension, and filed mis- application Nothing came
of it except that the publication OF his troubles
procured his removal from the almshouse to the
Soldiers Home. In his last public statement,
which was made on July 8, Brinski said I've
told the story about what I've had to do with
Mr. Cleveland, but there are two things more
that have never told to anybody, and won't
comes necessary I'll tell them even if it is my
last moment alive"

FAIRCHILD AGAIN.
Possibility that the q. A. Il. Commander
May Be REFLECTED.

May Be Reelected.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
''Do you know, it wouldn't surprise me to see
General Fairchld reelected commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic, at the national
encampment, next month" said prominent
member of E. B. Wolcott Post yesterday after
noon 'Of course. General Fairchild is not
candidate, was not one when he was elected, and
it is not customary to give commander two
terms. But politicians have made such a mean
attack him relative to his firm and honest
stand on the battle flag question that sure
nothing more than Endorsement, IL they
obtained an intimation that he would accept
second term Another thing that makes me
think there is something in the wind, is the fact
consumed previous to the annual encampment,
in discussing candidates, while this year three
four names have barely been mentioned and
then dropped. | will not be surprised to see
Commander Fairchild reelected, and there is a
quiet. but general feeling looking toward such
action felt over large section of the country"
Whose names have been mentioned as Fair
chlds successor, in case new commander is
chosen2"
'.Well the most prominent is that of w. r.
Sherman, who would be strong candidate il
he would accept the Office, which in my mind is
Gen. III. W. Slocum. of New York, in the
Office OF commander. But he hasn't the ghost
of chance. Not account of politics, mind
you, but because there are other Grand Army
men both prominent and more popular.
Gen. ID. p Grier, of Missouri, has been spoken
of for the position but, like Socu7n, his chances
are attenuated Probably the most popular
yet brought up. aside from that of Gen
eral Sherman, is that of Corporal Tanner the
brave one-legged hero of New York. 1t is known
that he has long wanted to be commander and
under certain circumstances he would stand
good show"

ming up the results of the late Kentucky cleo
ton, comedies that the Democrats have been
reduced from majority of about 40, 900 to
a majority of less than 1000 in two years.
